Hey fellow truckies, I am quite familliar with the Ford / International Diesel workings however just recently purchased my second diesel 04 Excusion and unlike my other 6.0 trucks the injectors ? cycle for 15 to 20 seconds upon shutdown. Also have p- work from ford stating this is part of a computer re flash update and is normal. My question here is why are these doing this ?

Welcome to FTE !!

The injector cycling was meant to reduce / eliminate injector stiction (pardon the spelling if incorrect). There has since been a later flash that does the same thing in a different way.

There's pages and pages on your "flash" and others in here, just use the search function and we'll see you in a few weeks !!!!
